Hey guys, I recently bought a few Duals , and this Badlands was the first to come in, and while I've been playing the game a LONG time , i have extraordinary minimal experience in determining what's a real or fake card. It passes the light test, but I have no clue about the patterns on older cards. I've added some close ups i took with my phone, and some scans. Let me know what you all think
Phone closeup looks right. You can clearly see the rosette pattern and the black in the text and border is solid color printed on top of that. The scans aren't helpful unless you scan at much higher resolution. Right now they're just small pictures of a card. If you want another pattern based check, look at the green dot on the back.

From what I can see in the photos, it is real. If it passes the light test, you should be okay. So far, I have not seen any counterfeits with the blue core, they all have black cores, like Bicycle playing cards.
If you have a Jeweler's loop you can be 100%. Just google it to see videos of people demonstrating how to check for the rosette pattern.
